Business Transformation /Technology Strategic Planning

To gain better understanding of your organization, Sistema IT Strategy Consultants will leverage our 5-step process that includes in-depth stakeholder interviews, site assessment, and use of our library of templates to collect data and create a technology roadmap that is driven and aligned with your business needs. This due diligence process will be performed in collaboration with your staff and will require a commitment to collaborate and provide various details about your company’s technology infrastructure.

The final deliverables from the due diligence process will include the current baseline (various portfolio’s and current set of technology and business issues), aggregated business driven technology needs that align with your business strategy, the identification of technology and functional gaps, and a detailed plan on how to fill those gaps including staffing and investment recommendations. The resulting roadmap will provide your company the information required to make better technology investment decisions now and in the future.
Sistema has repeatedly and successfully leveraged this process with a number of small and large customers to define technology roadmaps aligned with business needs.

A well defined technology roadmap aligns business and technology strategy, and, allows the IS department to better plan and manage its people, processes, projects, technology infrastructure, and investment decisions.

Business Continuity Planning (BCP)

Sistema’s Business Continuity Planning (BCP) Services are based on a combination of multiple standards:

Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council

Best practices from The Institute For Continuity Management

NFPA 1600 Standard on Disaster/Emergency Management and Business Continuity Programs

ISO/DIS 22301 – Preparedness and continuity management systems

BSI 25999-2:2007 and 25666:2010

Making sure your organization has the right BCP strategy can be challenging. At best, many organizations see this as a task to be completed and reviewed by the audit team; however, the Sistema approach is different. Your business continuity planning processes can be the first step towards…

Understanding your business process

Realizing technology interdependencies

Documenting potential business impacts

Driving business and IT alignment

Justifying IT infrastructure spending

Knowing that you are really prepared

Every organization should have a Business Continuity Plan that includes:

Recovery, resumption and maintenance of all aspects of the business – not just the recovery of the Technology Components

An enterprise-wide approach with prioritization of critical business processes and functions

A mechanism for regularly scheduled updates, tests and reviews

A process-oriented approach that includes:

A business impact analysis (BIA) and workflow analysis

A risk assessment and gap analysis

Risk management plans

Risk monitoring and testing procedures

Other policies, standards and procedures – as needed
